The amazing aspect of the m50 f/1.4 is that it seems to perform better on the K-01 than other bodies I have (*istD and K20D). I can only assume that this is due primarily to my greater ability to focus precisely. Perhaps improved software is a factor (more natural saturation and contrast enhancement) is a factor. However, this "improvement" is not nearly so apparent in my other lenses (and in fact zooms such as the Tokina ATX-24-40) clearly lose out due to the higher resolution of the K-01 sensor. In any event, thought I should post a photo as this lens isn't among those posted yet (I do see an f/1.7 though).

Nice pairing. So, I think you are a fan of Pentax's different color approach?

Definitely, colours are fun. I wouldn't want my main DSLR to be anything but black though. Sometimes I want to look serious, sometimes I don't. My K20D is black, and my K-3 will most definitely be black.

Here's my new yellow K-01 with M50 1.7, shot with my black K-01 and the kit 40XS. I just love these cameras. They had no idea at the time, but they actually made the M lenses for the K-01. I keep both of them in a very small camera bag, with different lenses mounted- makes a fun and compact kit!
